lated to the currently active source.PROTECTION AGAINST
THEFT
Power-on authentication
procedure
CONNECT Nav+ is protected
against theft and unauthorised instal-
lation by means of an “authentication
procedure”.
This kind of verification involves
Body Computer Node (by means of
messages exchanged on car network)
and is performed at every power-on.
The process will not be actuated if
the radio navigation system is turned
on by means of key 17-fig. 1. In this
case, the radio navigation system will
operate normally, without carrying out
the authentication procedure.

CONNECT NAV+
The audio system is turned on by
pressing briefly the “AUDIO” key 20-
fig. 1which displays the main func-
tions of the radio fig. 7.
Keeping button 20-fig. 1pressed
longer, with the audio system on and
any operating mode active, the
“MUTE” mode is switched on: this
way the audio source is muted and the
display will show “MUTE”. The
“MUTE” function can be switched off
either by pressing key 20-fig. 1for
more than 2 seconds or changing the
sound volume.
Through the audio system of the
CONNECT Nav+ it is possible to
control:
– RDS radio with FM/AM reception;
– Compact Disc player;
– CD-Changer (if installed);
– equalizer;
– MP3 player.SCREEN OPTIONS

AF - SEEKING ALTERNATIVE
FREQUENCIES
Within the RDS system the radio can
work in two different modes:
– AF ON: alternative frequency
search on;
– AF OFF: alternative frequency
search off.
When the signal of the RDS station
tuned weakens, the following two cas-
es may occur:
– With AF ON the RDS system ac-
tivates automatic tuning of the opti-
mum frequency of the station chosen,
with the stations enabled, therefore
the radio is automatically tuned to the
station with the strongest signal that
is broadcasting the same programme.
During the journey it will thus be pos-
sible to continue listening to the sta-
tion chosen without having to change
the frequency when changing area. Of
course, the station being listened to
must be receivable in the area the car
is crossing.– With AF OFF the radio will not
tune the strongest station automati-
cally and it will have to be found man-
ually using the tuner buttons.
To turn on/off this function, press
briefly one of the keypad keys 16-fig.
1set near the icon key AF.
When the AF function is on, the
display shows “AF” and the wording
on the icon key is darkened.
The RDS channel name (if available)
is still shown on the display. Listening to stored stations
Proceed as follows:
– choose the required frequency
band (FM1, FM2, FM3, FMAST, LW,
MW or AMAST) pressing repeatedly
the “SRC” key 2-fig. 1;
– press briefly one of the station
storage keys on the keypad 16-fig. 1
numbered from “1” to “6” at the bot-
tom of the main screen.
In the FM1, FM2, FM3 and FMAST
bands, if reception is poor and the
“AF-Alt. Freq.” alternative frequency
seek function is on, a station with the
strongest signal that is broadcasting
the same programme is automatically
sought.

TA - TRAFFIC INFORMATION
Certain stations in the FM band
(FM1, FM2, FM3 and FMAST) are al-
so enabled to broadcast information
about the conditions of the traffic. In
this case the displays shows the ab-
breviation “TP”.
To turn on/off the TA function (Traf-
fic Announcement) for traffic bulletins,
press briefly one of the keypad keys
16-fig. 1set near the icon key TA.
When the TA function is on, the dis-
play shows “TA” and the wording on
the icon key is darkened.
The listening conditions and infor-
mation shown on the display may be
the following:
– TA and TP: you are tuned to a sta-
tion that broadcasts traffic information
and the traffic information function is
on– TP: you are tuned to a station that
broadcasts traffic information but the
traffic information function is off
– TA: the traffic information function
is on but you are tuned to a station
that does not broadcast traffic infor-
mation
– TA and TP not shown on the dis-
play: you are tuned to a station that
does not broadcast traffic information
and the traffic information function is
off.
With the TA function on it is possi-
ble:
1) to receive traffic information al-
so if the CD/CDC/MP3 player is
working;
2) to receive traffic information at a
preset minimum level also with the ra-
dio volume down completely.The operations to be carried out for
each of the above two conditions are
listed below.
1) If you wish to receive traffic in-
formation while listening to a CD, be-
fore inserting the CD, tune to a sta-
tion enabled to broadcast traffic in-
formation (TP) and turn the TA func-
tion on. If, while playing the CD, this
station broadcasts traffic information,
CD playing will be temporarily
stopped and resumed automatically at
the end of the message.
If the CD player is already operat-
ing and, at the same time, you wish to
receive traffic information, actuating
the TA function will cause the radio to
tune to the latest station listened to
on the FM band (if the station controls
the “TP”); otherwise, automatic
search will be started to find a station
that controls the “TP”.

26
CONNECT NAV+
IMPORTANT In certain countries,
radio stations exist which though the
TP function is active (the display shows
“TP”), do not broadcast traffic infor-
mation.
If the radio is operating on the AM
band, selecting the FM band will cause
the latest listened station to be tuned.
If the selected station does not send
traffic information (the “TP” writing
does not appear on the display), au-
tomatic search will be started to seek
an enabled station to which the radio
will tune.
If the volume is changed during a traf-
fic bulletin the value is not shown on
the display and the new value is kept
only for the bulletin in progress.“FREQUENCY” FUNCTION
The “Frequency” function enables to
tune the required radio station by
turning knob 15-fig. 1clockwise or
counter-clockwise.
To turn the “Frequency” function on,
turn knob 15-fig. 1to select the cor-
responding icon key and then press it.
To turn this function off, press again
knob 15-fig. 1. 2) To receive traffic information
though not listening to the radio:
– turn on the TA function, so that
the display shows the abbreviation
“TA”;
– tune to a station enabled to broad-
cast traffic information so that “TP”
is shown on the display;
This way, if that station broadcasts
traffic information, this will be heard
at a minimum predefined volume.
A telephone call has higher priority
than traffic message.

During automatic storage the display
shows “Autostore”.
Stations will be stored automatically
on the preset keys from “1” to “6” of
the keypad16-fig. 1. After storage,
the radio tunes automatically to the
first station of the FMAST band, cor-
responding to the frequency stored on
the preset key “1” of the keypad 16-
fig. 1.
Every station is stored only once, ex-
cept in the case of regional pro-
grammes, which in certain cases might
be stored twice.The behaviour of the set during Au-
tostore is as follows:
– pressing one of the preset keys
from “1” to “6” the automatic storage
process is interrupted and the station
stored with that key is tuned
– changing the audio source (Radio,
CD, CD-Changer) during the auto-
matic storage process, the Autostore
function is interrupted. “Autostore” FUNCTION
(AUTOMATIC STATION
STORAGE)
After selecting the AMAST or
FMAST band, to turn on the Auto-
store function (automatic station stor-
age), select the “AUTOSTORE” icon
with the knob 15-fig. 1then press it
to confirm.
When this function is on, the radio
automatically stores the stations with
the strongest signal:
– 6 FM stations in the FMAST band
or
– 6 AM stations in the AMAST band.
